There's an old joke that explains world religions
through the example of "Shit happens."

00:00:32.323 --> 00:00:38.122
This is actually a very useful tool for understanding 
different world religions. I think that it's instructive.

00:00:38.122 --> 00:00:42.010
So I thought that maybe we could attempt to do 
something similar to this in economics.

00:00:42.010 --> 00:00:48.064
The basic economics version, of course, is the 
difference between microeconomics and macroeconomics.

00:01:03.487 --> 00:01:10.106
There's actually been a tremendous amount of progress in macroeconomics 
over the last century, so if you want the macroeconomics version...

00:01:34.011 --> 00:01:35.732
There are of course other fields in economics, which happens to be...

00:02:12.055 --> 00:02:14.293
Then there are a couple of fan submissions.

00:02:14.293 --> 00:02:22.440
I told folks that I would give them a free copy of my Cartoon Macroeconomics 
book if they submitted something that I used during the show tonight.

00:02:30.071 --> 00:02:34.555
…which is actually a brilliant definition
that no one will be able to use in class ever.

00:02:41.278 --> 00:02:44.525
That is a very in joke among the 
environmental economics crowd.
